    =====================

    I am still waiting on my developer to finish up on the Classifieds Control Panel so I can use it to encourage members into becoming paying members. Google Adsense has become a real burden on the viewing of this site, but honestly it is the ONLY source of income now that keeps it afloat. I tried offering disabling the ads being viewed by paying members, but apparently that is not enough incentive. Quite frankly, Google Adsense has dropped down to where it barely brings in enough daily to match even a single paid member per day. But it still gets the bills paid. But at what cost?

    So even without the classifieds control panel being complete, I believe I am going to have to disable those Google ads completely and likely disable some options here that have been free since going to the new platform. Like classified ad bumping, member name changes, and anything else I can use to encourage this site to be supported by the members instead of the Google Adsense ads.

    But there is risk involved. I will not pay out of pocket for very long during this last ditch experimental effort. If I find that the membership does not want to support this site with memberships, then I cannot support your being able to post your classified ads here for free. No, I am not intending to start charging for your posting ads here. I will just shut the site down and that will be it. I will be done with FaunaClassifieds. I certainly don't need this, and can live the rest of my life just fine without it. If I see that no one else really wants it to survive neither, then so be it. It goes away and you all can just go elsewhere to advertise your animals and merchandise.

    Not sure when this will take place, and I don't intend to give any further warning concerning the disabling of the Google Adsense. Just as there probably won't be any warning if I decide to close down this site. You will just come here and there will be some sort of message that the site is gone, and you have a nice day.

    I have been trying to make a go of this site for a very long time. And quite frankly, I am just tired of trying. I had hoped that enough people would be willing to help me help you all have a free outlet to offer your stuff for sale. But every year I see less and less people coming to this site, much less supporting it financially. That is fine. I tried. I retired the SerpenCo business about 14 years ago, so retiring out of this business completely is not that big if a step for me, nor will it be especially painful to do. When I was in Thailand, I did not check in here for three weeks. I didn't miss it even a little bit. So if you all want it to remain, it will be in your hands. I really don't care either way.

    =====================
    Some people have indicated that finding the method to contribute is rather difficult. And I have to admit, that it is not all that obvious. So to help, here is a thread to help as a quide. How to become a contributing member of FaunaClassifieds.

    And for the record, I will be shutting down the Google Adsense ads on January 1, 2025.

what do you guys think? yay or nay? I always thought nude beaches were a good idea, although ive never been to one....but talk about the perfect tan, huh? i mean..you think about it..and we (we i mean girls) spend hundreds of dollars on our bikinis, and theyre just two tiny pieces of cloth...i think all beaches should be nude.
 
Nude beaches are cool, But I think all nude beaches should have an age and weight limit. and the guys should all be allowed to carry cameras! :iagree:
 
Nude beaches are not for everyone. Those who are there enjoy them, and those who are not, well, let's just say, that's probably for the best.

:iagree: More weight though... Do you seriously want to see a 400 pound woman... well I don't think it's a good idea to finish this sentence...
 
Nudity is not a sexual issue. If you have the 2 confused, UM, YEP, ok.

N o I don't. I mean that... with no offence.. no one wants to see piles of fat... and... um... gross. I don't know where you got the "sexual issue" from...
 
It dosnt really matter what YOU want to see or anyone else, this is a free country and obviously will remain as such, ive got a bit of weight on me myself, and while im not offended , others might be. Everyone should be able to go to any such beach regardless of weight. Not everyone is a supermodel here ^_- with maybe a FEW exceptions of course!

If youre looking for hot sexy women, all you have to do is type it in Google. Enjoy.
 
I don't mean people with a little fat, hey Im not supermodel-ish too. Just, I don't think it's right if it's REALLY bad. And thats MY opinion... no one has to think the same.
 
Um excuse me but, Paulina...aren't you under the age of 18? Did you read the rules to this forum before posting? I was just informed that you are only 13 years old :NoNo:

Although Lucille was the original moderator here, I have now taken her place and the age requirement still stands. You are free to post in the welcome room, however, this form is for adults only.

Sorry to be a wet blanket guys, but I have to draw the line and would do so to other minors as well. If I have to I can delete your posts.

Now onto nude beaches...I have been to one in Maui, there were families with their children, sun bathers, and yes some guy had a video camera. The way I see it is it's not for everyone. Nudity is a personal choice, it's not about how one looks but the fact they are confortable with themselves. It has little to do with sex.
 
Well, Sorry for not looking it was in the lonely Hearts Forum. Wait. I told you my age?
 
Too many people confuse nudity with sex. I have inhabited many nude beaches. It's much more about freedom.
 
i agree jim...and..................no tan lines!! :) I actually never even thought about it from a sexual standpoint..i just figured people that went to nude beaches went because they were comfortable with their bodies and themselves, and its not like people are gonna go and have a sexual experience...thats illegal..i think
 
Oh, No. the sexual experience is NOT illegal! :reddevil:

I've been to a nude beach before. And, I've gone skinny dipping at a public beach before.
Personally, I am very comfortable and confident there.

It becomes a matter of sand where sand ain't suppossed to be. :yesnod:
 
I don't know how I missed this but I did. It is absolutely ABSURD to suggest that going to a nude beach has little to do with turn on's, sex etc. It is only human nature to be aroused by the site of a nude woman/man. I've heard the whole, it's about freedom speech and personal choice, but you still have to admit that there is a sexual component to this. I've spoken with some who have participated and there most definitely is a sexual component.

While I also understand that seeing a 500 pound person has little to do with sex, I also know that few here could resist the sexual thoughts if Rana was there. It's reality and it is what it is. To pretend otherwise is simply foolish.

Griz
 
:blush: not everybody knows how i look griz...i can very well be that 500 pound woman..really, i dont think anybody wants to see that sight ;)...but goin back on that subject...ive thought of a question. people have told me that its more common than not that a lot of the people at nude beaches are usually gay...is that true, or is that just in palm springs?
